Vulnerability & Security Monitoring

Attackers don't scan targets once — they scan continuously, using automated tools that check thousands of sites a day against every newly disclosed vulnerability. Most organizations do the opposite: a single security review before launch, then nothing, until something goes wrong. In between, a plugin gets updated and introduces a new flaw, a backup file gets left in a public directory, or a security header quietly disappears during a deploy.

Each of those changes is small and easy to miss by hand. None of them announce themselves — a misconfigured header doesn't throw an error, and an exposed .env file loads exactly like any other page. The only way to catch them reliably is to check for them on the same schedule an attacker would: continuously, not once.

Continuous vulnerability monitoring closes that gap. Instead of relying on a point-in-time audit or waiting for an incident to reveal the problem, NetTests re-checks your site against known vulnerability signatures, common misconfigurations, and security-header best practices on every run — so a new exposure gets caught within hours, not discovered months later during a breach investigation.

NetTests runs a combination of scan types against your site on every scheduled check. A signature-based scan checks your stack against a large, actively maintained detection library covering known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), exposed admin panels, and default credentials. A path and misconfiguration scan probes for known-bad paths and vulnerable software fingerprints — the same checks a web-server vulnerability scanner would run manually, but repeated automatically on a schedule.

Alongside that, an exposure scan checks for the kind of accidental exposure that doesn't show up in a vulnerability database at all: config files, backup dumps, and admin interfaces that were never meant to be public. And on every check, NetTests grades your HTTP security headers — Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Permissions-Policy — and flags when a header that used to be present quietly disappears after a deploy.

Findings are ranked by severity so the most urgent issue is always the one you see first. When something new appears — a finding that wasn't there on the previous check — NetTests flags it as a change, not just another line in a long report, so a fresh exposure never gets buried in noise from issues you've already triaged.

Alerts reach your team through email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, or SMS. The dashboard keeps a full history of every check, so you can see exactly when a finding first appeared and confirm when a fix actually resolved it.
